Album Review
The solo-recording General Store, aka Tam Johnstone (son of Elton John guitarist Davey Johnstone; "Mountain" is dedicated "for Dee and Gus" — John's bassist Dee Murray, died 1992, and producer Gus Dudgeon, died 2002), has direct pieces of roots rock and country as well as power-pop and pop. That's in the same way that Mojave 3 does (Neil Halstead loaned gear and Al Forrester did the sleeve layout) and four big B's of his Dad's acquaintance, Badfinger, Beatles (in this case, George Harrison), Beach Boys, and Byrds did — three guiding lights on a fairly polished early ‘70s singer-songwriter record. There's a particular Beach Boys' Brian Wilson homage on "Girls from the Mall," but the country Byrds/Gene Clark is more prominent. Talent apparently can be passed down the family line, as well as a good record collection.
Customer Reviews
Not bad at all
I just downloaded 3 songs. I'm happy with all of them. Come Around reminds me of Neil Young Harvest. Early Morning Fuzz is very up beat. Nice chord changes, nice hooks. And the 3rd song, The Point is very, very catchy. The following is from a review I read somewhere: "The music is multi-varied and soul stirring. The gorgeous strains and influences of World Party, "Harvest"-era Neil Young, early 70s Elton John (well, he’s the son of Davey Johnstone, Elton’s guitarist and he grew up around the band!), C,S,N & Y, Quiver and The Travelling Wilburys are present but filtered purely through Johnstone`s immense talents."
